Someone of you know that I was making a play for this one but fell woefully short:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GBD-VINTAGE-ESTATE-PIPE-BENT-9242-LONDON-ENGLAND-/262046223699?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=NMWvBlC7LPw4eMhnchcpV3qlXoI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
While the pipe is in pretty rough shape, it should restore nicely and the seller offered returns should there have been unseen damage. But, $295 was well past my comfort zone.
I sure hope someone restores and shows it. A 9242 appears on Ebay about once a year or so and I've never seen a hallmarked pipe. It's too bad the pictures were too fuzzy to discern the mark/year.
